Ontario's November 15, 2018 first-occupancy rule matters: new buildings and additions first occupied for residential use after that date can be exempt from the rent-increase guideline. Year built alone cannot establish rent-control status.
First-occupancy evidence is not in the City datasets used here. Confirm the occupancy history with the landlord before relying on rent-increase limits.

City median: 92 / 100 across 3,593 buildings (each building's latest 2023+ evaluation) · 19% of evaluated buildings score lower. A score describes a recorded inspection; it is not a guarantee of current conditions.
Category scale: 1 is the lowest score; 3 is the highest (0 also appears in the data). Overall scores are weighted and cannot be inferred by averaging these items.
Evaluations before 2023 used a different scoring system, so older scores aren't directly comparable.
